Very well-handicapped on old form and has placed on each of his three starts, including when a well beaten third here earlier in the week. Perhaps a shade vulnerable for win purposes given that he's yet to win in 14 AW starts.

Sole win from 12 starts came on his only start at this course. Ran okay in claiming company at Chelmsford last time and while more is needed here, can't be entirely ruled out on his return to this surface.

Badly out of form of late and often slowly away from the stalls, an obvious negative on this surface. Well handicapped but no guarantee he will handle this surface on Fibresand debut and others preferred.

Forecast

Verdict

It might be worth taking a chance on BOOTS AND SPURS in the hope that first-time headgear and a return to Fibresand sparks a revival. Assimile is an interesting runner having won on his only course appearance while Fieldsman can't be ruled out off what is a workable handicap mark.
